George Washington, appropriately, was the first, in 1953. Theodore Roosevelt was saluted on his centenary in 1958; a 1962 story looked at James Monroe and his hemispheric doctrine; Abraham Lincoln was portrayed in 1963 as the epitome of individualism; and the legacy of Franklin Roosevelt was traced last year. Only three religious leaders have been reassayed: St. Paul (1960), the Buddha (1964) and Martin Luther in 1967 and again last month in international editions. (Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary are our most frequent historical cover figures, but they have not been specifically the subjects of the accompanying stories.) Karl...
American political moods run in cycles. Periods of activity and reform, of idealism and change, alternate with more quiescent, complacent, even cynical times. Schlesinger believes that the activist cycle comes around every 30 years or so. Thus the era of Teddy Roosevelt at the turn of the century, then the New Deal beginning in 1933, then Kennedy in 1961. By Schlesinger's hopeful calculation, the U.S. will be ripe for another time of idealism and political innovation toward the end of this decade...
Robert K. Murray of Pennsylvania State University has surveyed 1,000 Ph.D. historians as part of a study on how such authorities assess American Presidents.

Near great: Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Jackson, Harry Truman. Above average: John Adams, Lyndon Johnson, James K. Polk, John Kennedy, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Grover Cleveland...
When he flew north from Palm Beach in January 1961 to take over the presidency, Kennedy scratched away on a yellow pad, fashioning phrases for his Inaugural Address. He wanted them to equal those of Franklin Roosevelt, Wilson and maybe even Lincoln. What did I think, he asked, tossing the pad in my lap, fixing his bemused gaze on me to measure enthusiasm or lack of it. I couldn't read his handwriting and said so. He took the pad back, a little disgusted, and intoned a couple of his lines. Nice, I said, not at all convinced, since...
